Iran-Linked Hackers Shut Down UK Power Plant for Four Days

Hackers linked to Iran reportedly disrupted operations at a power plant in the United Kingdom for four days. The incident has raised concerns about the vulnerability of critical infrastructure to state-backed or state-linked cyberattacks. Officials are assessing the extent of the disruption, how access was gained, and whether equipment or data were damaged. Energy operators may review network protections, backup systems, and incident-response procedures. The episode adds to tensions between Iran and Western governments over cyber operations against critical infrastructure.
